Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 138: Chapter 136: Is Sister-in-Law Suspicious?

Lin Yuan’s strength was formidable, but the Mother Gu was no weakling either.

Faced with the Mother Gu’s overwhelming strands of hair, Lin Yuan slowly raised the Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword in his hand, with its blade pointed directly at the Mother Gu.

”Ting!”

As the crisp sound of the sword resonated, Lin Yuan swung his sword.

With a single stroke.

The crimson Light of Annihilation enveloped Lin Yuan’s entire body, and everywhere the red light reached, all the strands of hair snapped and fell to the ground.

On the Mother Gu’s side, it was like a waterfall of infinitely growing dense black hair.

On Lin Yuan’s side, there was an endless red glow.

It seemed to be a confrontation between Lin Yuan and the Mother Gu, but in reality, it was a battle between two types of Power of Rules.

The endless red glow on Lin Yuan’s side was the Power of ”Annihilation.”

As for the Mother Gu’s side, up to now, Lin Yuan still couldn’t determine what type of Power of Rules she wielded.

At this moment, Lin Yuan and the Mother Gu were still in a phase of mutual stalemate.

The Power of Annihilation continuously dissolved the overwhelming strands of hair, while these strands could grow infinitely.

It seemed that even if they continued to stalemate like this, it would be a futile effort.

However, the Mother Gu only mastered one Power of Rules, while Lin Yuan had far more than just one.

As they were at an impasse, Lin Yuan already had a way to break the deadlock.

A Bronze Ancient Lamp slowly appeared beside Lin Yuan.

The Soul-Luring Lamp.

Once the Soul-Luring Lamp emerged, raging flames instantly erupted, setting the Mother Gu’s overwhelming strands of hair ablaze.

The large fire rapidly spread, transforming into towering flames within moments.

In dealing with these overwhelming strands of hair, the Soul-Luring Lamp was far more effective than Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword.

With the Soul-Luring Lamp, in just the blink of an eye, a large portion of hair was reduced to ashes.

Clearly, the Mother Gu was a bit flustered.

The surrounding strands of hair that had originally spread out withdrew in an instant, like a retreating tide.

With the Soul-Luring Lamp present, the Mother Gu clearly didn’t dare to use the overwhelming strands of hair as a weapon anymore.

The Mother Gu waved her hand, and the eerie Deceitful Qi in the surroundings began to condense around her. Soon, these eerie Deceitful Qi transformed into sharp arrows, shooting towards Lin Yuan.

A rain of arrows descended, covering the sky and obscuring the sun, and the sharp arrowheads whistled through the air.

Looking at the sharp arrows above, Lin Yuan remained utterly calm.

The Qiankun Umbrella turned slightly, freezing all the arrows in mid-air, and then, all the arrows transformed from the eerie Deceitful Qi were absorbed into the Qiankun Umbrella.

Lin Yuan had mastered too many types of Power of Rules, and the Mother Gu’s methods seemed to struggle to inflict any effective harm on Lin Yuan.

After blocking the Deceitful Qi arrows, Lin Yuan didn’t hesitate for a moment, swinging the Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword as he launched fierce attacks towards the Mother Gu.

In terms of close combat, it appeared the Mother Gu was not adept, and under Lin Yuan’s intense offensive, the Mother Gu was retreating steadily.

As the battle reached a fever pitch, the Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword left one scar after another on the Mother Gu.

Under the erosion of Annihilation’s power, the Mother Gu let out a shrill scream.

As the battle continued, the Mother Gu’s body had become tattered and was clearly at the end of her rope.

Lin Yuan frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled.

This...

The Mother Gu seemed to give him a sense of being not as worthy of her reputation upon meeting her.

Before encountering the Mother Gu’s true form, Lin Yuan once thought that the Mother-Child Deceitful King was the strongest Tier Five Evil Spirit he had ever faced.

However, upon confronting the Mother Gu for real.

Lin Yuan discovered that, except for having been designed by Zhuge Ming to eliminate nine child deceitful spirits.

The true strength of the Mother Gu turned out to be rather ordinary!

Initially, up to this point, the power demonstrated by the Mother Gu really couldn’t be considered strong.

In fact, it was even inferior to the previous Golden Armor Zombie.

You’d say she wasn’t strong, but up to this point, Lin Yuan still had no idea what Power of Rules the Mother Gu mastered.

But you’d say she was strong, yet she was completely pushed into being trapped by Lin Yuan’s relentless attack.

Confused!

A bit confused!

Honestly, Lin Yuan himself was also a bit perplexed; he couldn’t quite understand whether the Mother Gu was weak or strong.

”Pfft!”

Lin Yuan’s Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword stabbed into the Mother Gu’s body. ”Ah!” The Mother Gu let out a scream, the pain evident on her face.

However, what flowed out from her wound was viscous black clotted blood.

”Die!”

”You die!”

The Mother Gu’s head full of black hair surged once more, shooting towards Lin Yuan.

The Qiankun Umbrella shielded Lin Yuan, blocking all the strands of hair.

At the same time, the blazing flames erupted from the Soul-Luring Lamp, enveloping the Mother Gu entirely.

”Ah!”

”Ah! Ah!”

Chilling shrieks emerged from within the flames, and the Mother Gu writhed in agony within the blaze, her screams and struggles growing weaker, until two or three minutes later, there was silence.

”Dead?”

Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yuan found it somewhat unbelievable.

This was the Mother-Child Deceitful King! To date, it was the most powerful Tier Five Evil Spirit he had encountered; how could it die so easily?

Lin Yuan didn’t believe the Mother Gu was dead, but the charred corpse before him and the completely disappeared aura of the Mother Gu testified to it all.

The Mother Gu had already been annihilated, leaving Lin Yuan without room to refute.

Power of Rules!

Yes!

Power of Rules.

After the Golden Armor Zombie was dealt with last time, Lin Yuan searched the corpse and obtained a Corpse Pill, which contained the Power of Rules mastered by the Golden Armor Zombie.

To confirm whether the Ghost Mother was truly dead or feigning death, it was actually quite simple.

If she was truly dead, then Lin Yuan would be able to obtain her Power of Rules.

Conversely, if Lin Yuan couldn’t obtain her Power of Rules, then she was undoubtedly feigning death.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan prepared to search the corpse.

According to previous experiences, there must be something containing the Power of Rules on the charred corpse of the Ghost Mother.

Just like Mr. Yimu Wu’s monocle, the Corpse Pill of the Golden Armor Zombie.

To prevent the Ghost Mother from feigning death and launching a sneak attack, Lin Yuan also made preparations while searching the corpse.

Yellow Springs Road was right under his feet, ensuring that he could pull away immediately with a thought.

With the Qiankun Umbrella overhead, the Soul-Luring Lamp on the left, and Zhong Kui’s Demon-Slaying Sword on the right.

Lin Yuan couldn’t believe that such a powerful Ghost Mother could be dealt with so easily.

Therefore, he had to be careful.

Being cautious is an eternal truth.

However, just as Lin Yuan was about to search the corpse, he suddenly heard a cry for help coming from ahead.

”Help.”

”Bang, bang, bang.”

”Help, help!”

”Bang, bang.”

The faint cries for help and the continuous knocking sounds reached Lin Yuan’s ears.

This sound was very familiar.

Little Sister-in-law?

Yes, it was Little Sister-in-law’s voice.

How could her cries for help appear here?

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows, feeling a bit puzzled, but still followed the faint cries for help.

Lin Yuan directly abandoned searching the corpse because if there was something containing the Power of Rules in the charred corpse.

Lin Yuan would need to spend some time absorbing the Power of Rules, during which he couldn’t be disturbed.

Therefore, before searching the corpse, Lin Yuan had to first understand why Little Sister-in-law was here.

Lin Yuan felt uneasy, or rather, he was already starting to suspect Little Sister-in-law.

But ever since entering Deceit Village, Little Sister-in-law had helped Lin Yuan quite a bit.

From his heart, he hoped Little Sister-in-law had no problems.

Lin Yuan followed the sound, and after walking for about a few minutes, he saw an altar.

Right in the center of the altar was a bright red coffin.

This coffin was very luxurious, with dragon and phoenix patterns carved on its surface, creating a dizzying effect.

This coffin, if placed in ancient times, would only be used by royalty and nobility.

”Help, help.”

”Bang, bang, bang.”

The cries for help and the knocking sounds became clearer, originating from inside the coffin.

”Little Sister-in-law, is that you?”

”Why are you in a coffin?” Lin Yuan asked with a frown.

Apparently hearing Lin Yuan’s voice, the restless sounds inside the coffin temporarily quieted down.

After a moment, Little Sister-in-law’s voice came: ”It’s me, Lin Yuan, save me quickly, save me!”

Having confirmed the person inside was indeed Little Sister-in-law, Lin Yuan kicked the coffin lid away.

After the coffin lid was kicked away, Little Sister-in-law crawled out from inside.

”Lin Yuan, where are the Evil Spirits?”

”Are the Evil Spirits here?” Little Sister-in-law looked around fearfully and asked.

”The Evil Spirits have been dealt with by me!” Then, Lin Yuan asked, ”Didn’t I ask Zhuge Ming and the others to protect you? Little Sister-in-law, why are you here?”

At this point, Lin Yuan was already suspicious of Little Sister-in-law.

Last time, when Lin Yuan almost killed nine child ghosts in the ancestral hall, it was because Little Sister-in-law was tied to a tree that he was led away.

Now, just after dealing with the Ghost Mother, Little Sister-in-law appeared in the coffin.

Once is a coincidence, but twice? Could it still be a coincidence?

Lin Yuan truly hoped from the bottom of his heart that Little Sister-in-law had no issues, but he was afraid things wouldn’t go as he wished.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s question, Little Sister-in-law hesitated for a moment, then answered, ”I was worried about my child, so I thought of coming out to look for them.”

”Not long ago, I blacked out and when I woke up, I was in the coffin.”

Hearing this answer, Lin Yuan’s frown deepened.

”Did you find them?”

”Did you find the child?” Lin Yuan continued to ask cautiously.

At this point, Lin Yuan could almost determine that Little Sister-in-law definitely had a problem.

Yet, judging from the aura, Little Sister-in-law was clearly a living person, not an Evil Spirit.

The problem now was that Lin Yuan’s instincts were telling him Little Sister-in-law had a problem, a big problem.

But the facts seemed to prove Little Sister-in-law was just a living person, no problem; she appeared here simply because she was captured by the Ghost Mother.

Therefore, Lin Yuan could only probe.

”No!”

”By the way, have you seen my child?”

”Since the Evil Spirits have been dealt with, you must have found my child, right?” Little Sister-in-law asked excitedly.

Lin Yuan hesitated, pondering what was wrong with Little Sister-in-law.

Seeing that Lin Yuan hadn’t spoken for a long time, Little Sister-in-law suddenly lunged into Lin Yuan’s embrace, unbuttoned her chest, and said in a charming tone, ”You have such great abilities, you can definitely save my child, right!”

”As long as you’re willing to save my child, I’ll give you anything.”

In the blink of an eye, Little Sister-in-law transformed from a mother wholeheartedly wanting to save her child into a woman of easy virtue; this transformation was indeed quite dramatic!
